Frank McCourt isn’t off the roster yet: The Dodgers dangle as Joe Torre and Rick Caruso say they’re ending their bid. At issue: Frank McCourt’s hold on the parking lots. Times’ columnist Bill Dwyre writes:
We had heard the word “sell” and waved our goodbyes.
Then came the letter to Major League Baseball from one of the main bidding groups, saying it was pulling out because McCourt was demanding to keep the parking lots around Dodger Stadium, which, unlike the team, are not in bankruptcy and were split off into a separate corporation by McCourt in 2005. MLB let him buy this team in the first place and then let him split off the parking lots. That’s two strikes, Bud.
